SOUNDBITE (English): Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on playing Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final):

"It's an important game and we want to got to the final. We have an opportunity at home against Chelsea. I think the two teams know each other very well. The first leg was very blocked. The second leg will certainly be more open because at some stage the teams will have to open up to try to win the game. So it should be far more spectacular than the first one."

SOUNDBITE (English): Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on whether they know how to play against Chelsea after a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg):

"I'm always cautious to say that because I think the two teams are very close to each other every time they meet and the form of the day can be a decider. The strengths and the motivation on the day can be a decider as well. I think it's always been very tight and they are two good teams that know each other very well now so it's difficult. It's very unpredictable."

 SOUNDBITE (English): Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on whether having home advantage makes them favourites):

"Honestly I don't see any favourites in that tie. If you look at what we spoke about in the last seven games it was always very tight. You could say what comes out is no real favourite. We are at home and we feel strongly at home so we want to take advantage of it."

SOUNDBITE (English): Antonio Conte, Chelsea head coach:

(about the second leg of the semi-final)

"There is a target for both teams - to reach the final in this competition. I think this is a good target for us. Is a good target to follow for Arsenal. And for this reason I think that after after a 0-0 for sure the game will be very open."

SOUNDBITE (English): Antonio Conte, Chelsea head coach:

(asked what he his side can do better to beat Arsenal)

"When you play against Arsenal, for sure you must be prepared to suffer without the ball because they like.... they like to to be offensive. They like to bring many players in the box to try to find the combinations between the strikers, the wingers, (and) the midfielders. For this reason we must pay great attention. It will be important to be compact without the ball.  But at the same time, Arsenal know very well that when we have the ball we are dangerous in the same way like them. I think that we must pay great attention without the ball."
